“THE BEST BREEZES TO CATCH ARE ON A BEACH CRUISER”—BLOGGER

CHASSITY EVANS OF LOOK

LINGER LOVE

WHEN YOU’RE SURROUNDED by sunshine, sea breezes, and sand, two wheels are almost always greater than four. Introduced in the 1930s by Schwinn, the beach cruiser has become as ubiquitous on seaside board-walks as snow cones and saltwater taffy. We love them for their nostalgia factor, their simplicity (who needs more than one speed at the beach?), and their style—this one’s sea foam green frame and leatherette seat and handlebar grips make it an ideal vehicle for sunset spins along the shore.

MUST-HAVEA COMFY PORCH

CREATE “ROOMS” WITH RUGS. “With no walls to delineate spaces, outdoor furniture needs to be grounded by what’s underneath it. Rugs are a smart way to do this, or try varying the type or texture of material under- foot, like wood or stone.”

LAYER THE LIGHTING. “Have multiple light sources, including an overhead

option and something that provides the same cozy glow of indoor lamps. LED lamps are easily recharge-able, and you don’t have to worry about dealing with wires or plugs outdoors.”

THINK PRACTICALLY. “I’m all about function. Everyone should always have a place where they can set down their drink, whether that’s a garden stool, a side table, or a tray that works for serving, too.”

SOFTEN THE SPACE. “Outdoor fabrics have come a long way in terms of comfort, so don’t be afraid

to use them like you would indoors. Upholstered ottomans filled with quick- dry foam look great in place of a coffee table.”

DISPLAY SCULPTURAL SHELLS. “Shells are perfect for adding that beachy element. Use them in a way that makes them artistic, like placing one big, beau- tiful shell on a table.”

MIX UP MATERIALS. “I’m a huge fan of teak, and the way it weathers and

ages, but I would never do an outdoor room that’s exclusively one material. The juxtaposition of weathered wood with woven resin or something sleek and modern makes the space much more interesting.”

GO NATURAL. “If you’re on a covered porch with no trees around you, always include some greenery in the mix. I like to use a lot of smaller plants in sculptural pots so they add interest but don’t block the views.”

WE UNDERSTAND THE EXCITEMENT: You arrive at your beach house after several long, cold months apart and want to make a beeline for the shore. But before you start applying sunscreen, tackle our easy to-do list: First, walk through the house, replacing any burnt-out batteries and lightbulbs, and changing dirty air filters; test the air-conditioning to make sure everything is in working order. Check outside for any winter damage, such as torn screens. Next, arm yourself with a spray bottle filled with a mixture of white vinegar and water (1/2 cup vinegar per bucket of water) for a handy natural spritzer that’s safe and strong enough to clean all hard surfaces, including salt-sprayed windows. Throw all your linens and towels in the washer, and clean patio furniture with simple dish soap and water, leaving everything to dry in the sunlight.

WHAT’S MORE DREAMY than a hammock by the sea? This hammock by the sea, because it’s roomy, mildew-repellant, and even handwoven in a soft triple weave to prevent any imprint on your skin. Plus it’s pretty and portable (with a handy carrying bag), so you can savor any water view you wish (until, eyes heavy, you drift happily off to sleep).

Roberta Roller Rabbit by Roberta Freymann Beach Towel Argan in Orange, $150; robertarollerrabbit.com

FROM THE CLASSIC bowline to the fisherman’s bend, rope knots have been a mainstay of maritime culture ever since sailors began circling the globe. The rugged emblems of seafaring life remain an elemental tool for securing a vessel’s lines and sails, but we’ve found they pull their weight in modern beach houses, too. Interior designer Orlando Soria favors this adaptation of the diamond knot, which doubles as a doorstopper: “I like to leave doors open to hear the ocean, and these cute nautical accessories keep doors from slamming closed in the sea breeze.”

SHELLS IS A COASTAL TWIST on the popular card game Spoons. The goal: to get four of a kind before anyone else. You’ll need at least three people, and as many as 13 can play.

Each player except the dealer brings a sea-shell and places it in the center of the table. The dealer deals four cards to each player, keeping the remaining cards in a stack close by. Then the dealer picks up a card from the stack and can exchange it for a card in hand, passing the unwanted card to the left. (Players take turns as the dealer, clockwise around the table.) Then each successive player accepts a card from the right and passes an unwanted card to the left

until someone has four matching cards. The player to the dealer’s right discards his or her cards into a discard pile, and the dealer draws from that pile if cards run out.

The first player to get four of a kind grabs a shell, and the other players rush to grab a shell, too. Whoever ends up empty-handed earns a letter S for the first loss, an H for the second, and so on until he or she has spelled the word S-H-E-L-L-S and is eliminated. Each time a player is eliminated, the dealer removes one shell (like removing a chair in musical chairs), and the game continues until all but one player have spelled “shells.” That person wins!

Sangria!



MUST-HAVE

REFRESHING SUMMER

DRINK

Fruity, fresh, and perfect for pitchers, sangria is the ultimate beachside sipper. Early Roman settlers of the Iberian peninsula first mixed up the potent fruit punch as a means of hydrating (water, alone, was thought to be unsafe). It arrived in the United States hundreds of years later, today earning its cred as one of the most versatile cocktails. Mix and match your fruit and wine based on what you have on hand, or say “Salúd” with our classic recipe.

Sangria 1 lime, cut into wedges 1 lemon, cut into

wedges 1 orange, cut into

wedges 1 Granny Smith apple,

cored and cut into wedges

1 (750-milliliter) bottle dry red wine

1 (12-ounce) can lemon-lime carbonated beverage

Garnishes: orange wedges and lime slices

Fill pitcher with lime, lemon, and orange wedges; press fruit with the back of a spoon to release juice. Add apple wedges and wine; chill until ready to serve. Just before serving, stir in lemon-lime beverage. Pour into ice-filled glasses, and garnish, if desired.

Sheer, lightweight, vibrant, and versatile, this beach staple is the simplest way to take your shore style from plain to polished in a flash. But to get the most out of the brilliant invention, have plenty on hand as home decor: Use one as a chic tablecloth, or tie coordinating sarongs around the backs of dining chairs to brighten a summer soirée.
